Find a Little Piece of Paradise in London at Kew Gardens

Since my new found obsession with plants {especially in the home}, Kew Gardens was a no brainer. The endless amount of greenery that is in this park impressed my socks off. And if you go, don’t forget to check the map for other things to discover. We almost made that mistake of thinking we had seen enough since we were well satisfied with the green houses and peacock we had seen grazing one of the many garden areas.

The greenhouses alone would be enough to visit with the lavish palms, putting you straight into tropic-ville. Make sure you climb the spiral staircase for a view from above. It will make you feel very small compared to the large palms towering to the ceilings. Not to mention the photo ops from above are worth it alone.

If the weather cooperates, make your way to the treetop walkway to feel like you’ve been dropped into Jurassic Park. After you’ve walked amongst the trees, wander the wildlife reserve and explore the vast amount of flowers along the pathways. There are plenty of activities along the way, and this place is huge for families if you have little ones.

Don’t forget to stop into the shop to pick up a new house plant or 4, they also have a lot of amazing coffee table books and other goodies to stock up on. And if you’ve taken the tube to get to Kew Gardens, stop into Tap on the Line for a pint and snack.
